Playing the long tones softly is important since loud notes tend to blow the aperture wider open.
The slightly higher note is to encourage tighter embouchure, since some players tend to adopt a too-loose embouchure for playing lower notes.
Alternately, have you tried the "pencil trick" in which you exercise the embouchure by holding a pencil in your embouchure sticking straight out for as long as you can hold it?
